Looks like Coinpayments requires use of an email address to check out. Doesn't that partially defeat purpose of the token based authentication system? Looks like Bitpay offers the option to pay with Bitcoin without having to provide an email. Ideally, I would like customers to be able to pay with Mo...

Jitsi is a piece of sh*t in my experience, buggy as all hell, unreliable, devs insist on ridiculous amounts of logging enabled by default, dependence on client server architecture, etc etc. Save your time and grief and go with Tox as a Skype replacement instead, I've had great success using it with ...

I've been looking to migrate to coreboot capable server hardware for quite some time now however all of the well supported AMD motherboards listed on the coreboot wiki have been hard to come by, especially in small form factors.

A little required reading directly related to this topic... Software Defaults as De Facto Regulation: The Case of Wireless APs ," Rajiv Shah and Christian Sandvig, TPRC'07, September 2005, Our results show that default settings play a powerful role in how people use technology. People are hesitant t...

The V3 widget is working pretty well on my Windows 7x system, better than the v2.22 release. In-line updates are working smoothly, only issue is that the signature check for the widget software update appears to be failing, but the openvpn and openssl component updates work without any apparent erro...

I'm not going to get too worked up about it as long as there in as option for power users to opt-out of the filtering via a checkbox on the connection widget options, or perhaps a special password in the password field for cross platform support. Would be re-assuring if the cryptostorm team will com...

If you're forced to use Chrome for whatever reason you can block WebRTC leaks with the WebRTC Leak Prevent Extension I also came across the manual method below posted here 08.01.2016 at 13:41 To deactivate WebRTC in chrome-Browser and clones you have to insert a code-line into the file “preferences”...

Noticed that a few nodes on the drop down menu show below are either defunct or incorrectly labeled, this is the case after clicking the 'Update' button as well. IIRC the Montreal node is down for the count and not coming back any time soon. 'Deneb - Cygnus' appears to be a duplicate of the Tokyo lo...

I'm having an issue with the Narwhal 2.22 widget on a Windows system where it the window collapses to half size after clicking the 'Options' button, and will not allow resizing. Hitting the 'Back' button restores the window to the correct size.

With regards to the 45% packet loss in de-cix, PingPlotter can be misleading that way to new users. "Is there any packet loss at the destination IP?" is the question you want to ask yourself first. If the answer is no, then you can disregard packet loss on intermediate hops. They may be too overload...

Try this: Install TCPView and PingPlotter for Windows Connect to CrypoStorm and start streaming a video. Fire up TCPView. Under the TCPView 'Options' menu, make sure 'Show Unconnected Endpoints' is un-checked. Click on the 'Rcvd Packets' column title to sort by it. The process with the most rcvd pac...

I was able to reproduce the issue on an Ubuntu 15.04 x64 VM. I am running a somewhat restricted sshd_config as detailed below. Wonder if that could have something to do with it, as I didn't notice any SSH session drops until I hardened SSH. /etc/ssh/sshd_config Port 22 Protocol 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ss...

Another interesting data point on this issue; it's also happening with SSH connections to hosts on the local network. So this suggests it's something to do with the local OpenVPN software, not the Cryptostorm network.

Confirmed this is an issue on both Mac and Windows platforms with both the Narwhal widget and Viscosity, and SecureCRT and OpenSSH clients. Pretty confident it's a cryptostorm network issue of some sort as it rarely if ever happens when using 'naked' Internet connection. Error message in terminal wh...

I'm having chronic issues with SSH sessions dropping while connected to the Cryptostorm network. They rarely stay up for more than 5 minutes after which they must be reconnected. This occurs with SecureCRT 7.3.1 and sshd OpenSSH_6.8, LibreSSL 2.1. Right now I'm testing to see if I can duplicate this...

I'd like to search the forums for three letter technical terms like 'dns' and 'i2p' however currently only four letter or greater terms are allowed. Can the board sysadmin please allow searching for three letter terms?

@sysfu Could you edit your post to include the supported bandwidth (8Mb/s, 24Mb/s, 100Mb/s) of your Internet connection? Many thanks. :) Forgive me if I'm being dense but I no longer see an option to edit the previous post even though I am logged into the forum. The 'raw' speed of the Internet conn...

you might also need to do the following: Create the interface file: touch /etc/hostname.tun0 If you're configuring the OpenBSD device as a gateway/router for a LAN using a private IP address range, add a NAT translation rule to /etc/pf.conf match out on tun inet from !(tun:network) to any nat-to (tu...

Regarding the IPSec side of things - Don’t stop using IPsec just yet The “TL;DR” summary of what follows below is: If you configure your IPsec based VPN properly, you are not affected. Always use Perfect Forward Secrecy (“pfs=yes” wich is the default in libreswan IPsec) and avoid PreSharedKeys (auth...
